You realize that is messed up, right?
If you're going to have a doughnut, it should be the best possible doughnut.
There is so much truth in this statement. There is nothing more depressing than a sub-par doughnut.

*post date update*
first date #21
yeah, two in one day. never say die!
i seriously needed to decompress after #20. so after i said goodbye to the ritalin dude, i got in my car, watched him in my rear-view to make sure he had left the area, i then got out of my car, walked around the corner and went to another bar that i heart. there were two other ppl there. it was the perfect peaceful calm that i desperately needed. then whilst i was updating you fine folks, i was also setting up a night cap with a dude i'd been talking to.
he was...nice. fun dude to chat with and have a few beverages with, but....that's as far as it's gonna go.
he had an extremely slight stature, and i can't stand that feeling like i'm an enormous beast next to a tiny dude.
plus he was a hardcore chain smoker - yuck
and has two kids - i'm consciously trying to avoid baby momma drama. and i'm sure a lot of ppl will think that my refusal to give a guy with kids a chance makes me a terrible person. and maybe i'm missing out on a super awesome dude, but that's just not what i want in my life right now. maybe if i get up to the #50's, my pure desperation will permit me to relax the hard rules i've outlined for myself, but i'm not there yet.
oh!!! *post date update - update*
#19 - the dude that flipped out over the bill, then sent me nasty texts after he didn't get any? yeah, HIM.
got a text from him yesterday!
"i don't expect a response back but i'm really sorry for what i texted the other night. you definitely didn't deserve that. no clue why i even sent it."
no quarter shall be given. so i replied:
"i know why you sent it, you thought you were going to get laid, and spazzed out when you realized that wasn't going to happen. same thing with the check, you had a meltdown when i didn't read your mind and know that you expected me to pay for myself when you had them put the drinks on your tab. slightly unstable dude."
i'm actually really surprised on how much i held back. usually my rage gets much more vulgar
Thank this thread. It's cleaning up our language. 21 is my favorite number what a,bummer he didn't work out. Smoking =instant no no to me too. Ick.0 -

I'm thinking those would make better targets and it won't matter where my kids are if either of those is hit.
The superintendent knows our football team is playing Sevier County tonight. Google Dollywood if you want to know where the kids would rather be than school.
Anyway, I have a coworker who asked me if I sent them to school. "Of course, I sent my kids to school. Keeping them home would be letting fear win. I never let fear win." (which is why the same coworker calls for me every time she sees a spider)
I hope nothing comes of those rumors, regardless of what the possible targets may be. Also, this reminds me: ISIS have blown up so many of our mosques here in Saudi Arabia (and other Gulf countries like Kuwait) that my husband told me there were police at the door today when he went to attend the Friday prayer at the local mosque.
All of this is terrible. Having personally been in NY during 9/11 this day always affect me. I certainly didn't love booking my flight for today. But you can't let fear rule you. Ever.0 -
@KylerJaye I've mentioned before I work in child support- no offense to people who have kids and are looking to date but I will never ever date a man with kids. I know too much about everything. Not in the cards for me.0

Mmm wow didn't know those existed!!
It was just a jelly doughnut with (glorious) peanut butter frosting, but it was absolutely what I needed/wanted.
My local doughnut shop makes a strawberry filled doughnut with peanut butter icing. I miss those. And this year they are making a pumpkin filled with cream cheese icing. I got Mr. Mel.one the other day. It smelled wonderful.
Dear God,
Please let Heaven be filled with these pumpkin donuts when I get there. Thank you.

Yes, yes... 1000 times yes.
The only good thing about fall: it's Pumpkin Season.
I love it!!
i can't stand pumpkin...in all of it's 2 billion fall flavors *hides under her desk*
Me either, can I hide with you?
ETA but I

i love fall too!
just hate pumpkin

What's messed up with that? If I was planning such a splurge I'd deffenatly want to get the absolute best one.
That MFP is causing her to WANT donuts... that is what is messed up.
Well, that is a little messed up, but it often makes me want Talenti or Blue Bell as well as protein bars and even tilapia occasionally.
Aside from here and the group, I spend most of my forum time checking out the New Products thread in Food and Nutrition.
With pumpkin flavored stuff, I really want to try these and the pumpkin spice Mini Wheats.

@Italian_Buju Thanks for asking about my daughter. She was home over Labor Day weekend, we didn't do a whole lot while she was here. We had Sunday brunch at one of our favorite local brunch spots, but she's still pretty quiet. She's struggling to keep her motivation at school. She's been texting me this week saying that she feels like she doesn't belong there and she wants to come home. I've told her that she can come home any time, it's her decision. But, don't quit school unless she's really given it a lot of thought and isn't doing it for the wrong reasons.
She keeps texting me that she doesn't knoooooooow what to do. She did go to Harry Potter club last night, so at least she's trying to stay engaged with other people somewhat.
She is avoiding facing up to herself. She skipped her psychiatrist appointment. I've told her to reschedule it because it's important. I hope she follows up, I'll keep nagging until she does. She sees her counselor on Fridays, so I'll be checking in with her later about that.
She has 4 semesters until her bachelor's degree. I hope she can start to feel better about things, maybe she should switch schools AGAIN and go to school somewhere closer to Nashville.0 -
All this talk of pumpkin has my creative side wondering if you could make pumpkin cookies like the peanut butter ones talked about so much. maybe pumpkin, egg, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice? I might have to try it.0

Well, I have a LOT of pages to catch up on, so maybe somebody has already mentioned it. Registration for the Country Music Marathon opens NEXT WEEK!! Whee!0

YES! I never let fear win!
A woman was murdered on some of the country roads I used to run on in my old hometown. It was a random occurrence. The guy who did it was suffering from some sort of mental breakdown after a huge fight with his family. Friends, family, and random people at work were all telling me to quit running when it happened. Nope. Fear doesn't win. I can't live my life that way.

@KylerJaye I love your dating stories. I have never really dated before and feel like I'd be terribly awkward at it since I have high social anxiety. People have already said they admire you and I'm one of them.
Edit: And there goes my perfect 1,000!
Sweetie, I appreciate that so much! Because 5 years ago this wasn't me, I couldn't even imagine it. And yeah, i have crazy anxiety, which is why all my first dates are at bars. It's the only thing that allows my anxiety to chill. And i'm not saying I'm some type of dating ninja, but I lost my 20's, the entirety of my 20's trying to love someone, and be enough for them, and I never was.
And then I settled for someone who for five years needed to be coddled, and I just can't do it anymore. Now i'm just working on desperation...
I'm on three different ones! okcupid, plenty of fish, and match (which I terribly regret giving them my monies! Maybe it's a regional issue, but I literally get nothing from match.com. makes me furious, such an absolute waste of money!
I met my husband on match. I dated a lot of frogs first.
I've also tried okcupid and plenty of fish. I already mentioned that eharmony told me they didn't have any matches for me.
My daughter is also on tinder. That looks like fun, but idk how serious the men are on that one.0 -

As someone who married a guy with a kid, I totally back you on the #babymamadrama. Being a step-parent is HARD!!! My step-daughter and I got/get along well (she's 24 now), and it still was hard. I would urge anyone to think very, very, very long and hard about taking on someone else's kids. It takes a special kind of person to do that successfully.
As for the daily date update, they are entertaining although I know they can be stressful on you. Still praying for Mr. Right-for-you!
+1
Haven't seen husband's kids for months. I actually had a rule that I wouldn't get involved with a guy that had kids unless they were grown. Husband's situation with the mother seemed to be pretty stable at the time, so I made an exception. Yeah, not so much.0 -

First date #16
Taking a page from @nonoelmo - a really nice guy, just not for me. Oh and he initially he told me he had one kid that was 24, but actually had two and the other is 13...not cool.
So....bleh
I like that you follow your instincts. I like that you realize that "nice" does not mean you have to go on another date if you don't want to go on another date.
I would be bothered that there was a lie, even if it was by omission or careful wording. Integrity and truthfulness / transparency are important to me. One man I actually liked casually mentioned on the 4th date that he'd been married twice/divorced twice, not the once his profile said. When I expressed surprise he gave me his story . His integrity (or lack of integrity) didn't impress me. He lied in his profile.

Nope, don't think you're terrible, I think it's important to know where you stand on this issue before getting involved with someone with kids. I wouldn't want to date someone with kids either. Mostly because I'm not sure I even want kids of my own. Having to deal with someone else's kid(s) and their ex is not something I want to do.
And I love your response to the nasty-text guy! He totally need to be called out on his awful behavior.0 -

If we let fear win, nobody would do anything or go anywhere and no, that is no way to live!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins I hope nothing comes of those rumours and it was just some kids playing an awful prank.0
